Eighth Joint ISO-ACL/SIGSEM Workshop on Interoperable Semantic Annotation ISA-8 Pisa, October 3-5, 2012 "ISA in Pisa" Purpose ---------------- ISA-8 is the eighth edition in a series of joint workshops of the ACL SIGSEM Working Group "The Representation of Multimodal Semantic Information" (see http://sigsem.uvt.nl/) and ISO TC 37/SC 4 (Language Resources) WG 2: Annotation and representation schemes. These workshops bring together experts in the annotation of semantic information as expressed in text, speech, gestures, graphics, and in multiple modalities combined. Examples of semantic annotation include the markup of events, time, space, dialogue acts, discourse relations, and semantic roles, for which the International Organisation for Standards ISO pursues the establishment of annotation standards, in order to support the creation of interoperable semantic resources. Topics of the ISA-8 workshop include (but are not limited to) the following: * methodological aspects of semantic annotation * experiments in semantic annotation * semantic annotation and semantic interpretation * semantic annotation, ontologies, and inferencing * the semantics of semantic annotations * applications of semantic annotation * issues in semantic annotation in specific domains, such as * time and space * events, states, processes, facts,... * semantic roles * relations in discourse * domain-independent issues in semantic annotation, such as negation, modality, quantification, sentiment, and attribution * integration of annotations across domains * best practices in semantic annotation * developments in projects that aim to define semantic annotation standards Submissions ---------------------- Four types of submissions are invited: * research papers, describing original research relating to semantic annotation; these can be long (6-8 pages) or short (3-4 pages); * project notes, describing recent, ongoing or planned projects involving semantic annotation (2-4 pages); * demonstration notes, accompanying demonstrations of software tools for supporting manual semantic annotation or software systems for automatic semantic annotation (2-4 pages); * commentaries on ongoing ISO projects concerned with semantic annotation standards (2 -4 pages). Submissions should be prepared in Latex using the ACL 2011 format - see http://www.acl2011.org/authors.html Information about electronic submission will be provided later. Important dates ----------------------------- * Submission deadline: 25 August * Notification of paper acceptance: 4 September * Camera-ready papers due: 14 September * ISA-8 Workshop: October 3-5, 2012 (2.5 days) Programme Committee ---------------------------------------- Jan Alexandersson Harry Bunt (chair) Nicoletta Calzolari Jae-Woong Choe Katrin Erk Alex Fang Robert Gaizauskas Koiti Hasida Nancy Ide Kiyong Lee Martha Palmer Volha Petukhova Massimo Poesio Andrei Popescu-Belis Rashmi Prasad James Pustejovsky Laurent Romary Thorsten Trippel Piek Vossen Organizers ----------------------- Harry Bunt (Tilburg University) Nicoletta Calzolari (ILC-CNR, Pisa) Kiyong Lee (Korea University, Seoul) James Pustejovsky (Brandeis University, Boston) Laurent Romary (INRIA/HUB, Berlin) More information -------------------------------- For more information see the websites of recent previous ISA-workshops: ISA-5, January 2010, Hong Kong: http://sigsem.uvt.nl/isa5/ ISA-6, January 2011, Oxford: http://sigsem.uvt.nl/isa6/ ISA-7, May 2012, Istanbul, http://sigsem.uvt.nl/isa7/ More information will be available at the ISA-8 website http://sigsem.uvt.nl/isa8 (under construction); relevant information can also be found at http://semantic-annotation.uvt.nl/ |
